She Loves Me

Every year, my mom gets my sistes and me a Valentine. I can remember being a little girl and she had bought me a pencil with this little cute plastic bear on the top where the earaser would go. It was holding a red heart. I hung onto that bear for a looooong time. One year, we received a small silver heart that at this moment I wish I had a photo of for you. When I was away in Pittsburgh for school, my mom sent me a Valentines package with a batch of heart shaped cookies with pale pink frosting. You can bet I was everyones friend with those cookies! And then one year, my dad made each girl a thin, wooden, rustic heart washed red with paint. It was hung by a jute string. It now hangs above my bed. (I'm redoing my bedroom tomorrow so I'll have a pic of it this upcoming week to show you.)

So, the other day, I got a Valentine's package from mom. Inside was tucked some mail. But in that mail was a red envelope with a beautiful card. There were also two chocolate bars that she had covered with these pretty, vintage inspired labels. Shane plowed into his candy bar right away. He told me that I better eat mine quick or he would since it was so good. Having the Hershey plant a few hours away, you know you are getting some goooood chocolate. I savored every bite!

What a nice mom you have!!! I find the air in Smith Falls smeeeelllls like chocolate. I don't know how anyone could stay on a diet that lives there!!! I went on the Hershey Plant tour once and it reminded me of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. :O)

I love the tradition of *moms*, and for sure you have a very special Mom! Yummmmmmm about the Hershey Choc. World...love it for sure...the tour is great, the smell even better then great :>)! Happy Valentine's Day!

That is so sweet! I am blessed to have a wonderful Mom too. I can not imagine living close to the Hershey's plant. Girl, I'd be big as a house! I love my chocolate! Lately I'm addicted to dark chocolate, but I will eat it all. I hope you all have a wonderful V-day!

What a great mom! There must be things you miss about being so close. After my mom passed away I always missed getting my birthday card from her...so.. My birthday is coming up very soon and I kept my last card she gave me before she passed and I take it out every year to remind me of her and her love for me.. cherish every moment and enjoy the things she does for you.. your a very lucky girl. Happy Valentines day, from Maine and someone whose life you have touched.. blessings Mandi. Tracey

Welcome to my neck of the bloggin' woods! My name is Mandi and I'm so glad you decided to come by today. I'm just a gal from Pennsylvania who married my Canadian husband seven years ago.

So sit back and stay awhile as we turn our hearts towards home.
